Introduction

This is for Laura Pruett's "Holidays? Holy Days? Pen It To Win It!" challenge that you can read about here:

The first thing that came to mind for this Challenge was Fairport Convention's song "Matty Groves". I was going to do a story, but then I thought why not try a villanelle? Three holidays and a story of a fateful love affair, Lady Donald fancying an affair with your Matty Groves. There are lots of holidays around the turn of the year so I think I stand a chance.

The three I mentioned are Christmas, Epiphany and Yule.
